Re: is it possible to make are 3.0 liter engines close to the 3.2 m3 engine naturally asp

Originally posted by Black330ci our engine size is 3.0 liters and the m3 is 3.2...is it possible without doing a turbo or a supercharger to make it as fast and powerful as the m3 engine?

This one has Samir written all over it...

You could definitely increase the size of the engine and by swapping out the internals of the engine, make one hell of a car. But it would probably cost as much or more then forced induction. And from what I've heard so far... doesn't look like turboing a 330 is gonna happen anytime soon... so that leaves SCing....
